My 2 year old puppy has recently been loosing hair around his mouth/ chin area!! It looks like he has scaly skin underneath his hair. We figured this might have something to do with his stress/ anxiety but now he has what looks to be white pimples. Just one appeared two days ago and since then there are now 4 pimples. The first one looks as if it has scabbed over. I’m very worried because he had just gotten shots not too long ago and he’d been taken to a new groomers recently as well. No itching, red skin, he’s still eating quite regularly so i’m unsure of the problem!

what is the best remedy for dandruff on a dog? she has severe dandruff. I took her to the groomer and she came back with massive dandruff. they were asking me what was up with her? Im not the vet so I don't know. they did bathe her in Oatmeal I guess.

My 9 y/o F Shih Tzu has always been an itchy dog since we got her when she was 8 weeks. Around this past August, she had a nasty flea problem due to a lapse in her Frontline +. She was given her meds and the environment was treated. The itching was so constant and severe she had scabs over her stomach and red skin. And would always wake up scratching. The poor dog was so miserable. The vet gave her a week of prednisone in September which helped tremendously with the itching. Since then, she has had no more flea bites or dirt and has been continuously treated for fleas. Recently, maybe at the beginning of November, I noticed that she was flapping her ears and scratching her face more than usually. Remember, she has always been itchy but since that flea problem I have been more cautious with her scratching. Since I got her, the vet I go to suspected she had allergies because of her scratching and sneezing but I never did anything about it. So when the ear flapping started about 1 month ago, I took her to the vet thinking she had an ear infection. The vet looked into her ear and saw inflammation but was unsure if she had a bad infection. I was given MalAcetic Otic to clean her ears every other day for 14 days. That was about 3 weeks ago. At the time I did a lot of research and feared that my Trisha had mange — even though she did not have the classic constant scratching or the scabbing or sores that I saw online. This scratch was significantly less than the one she had when she had fleas several months ago but nonetheless I brought it up to my vet. He told me he doubts she has it, but for peace of mind he gave me 2 doses of Revolution. I gave her the second dose a couple days ago. My question is, how do I really know if she did or did not have scabies? I know my vet did not do a skin scraping but I also know it is hard to find actual mites on the scrape so most vets just treat for the disease anyways. Because she did not have constant or severe scratching and never developed any lesions or sores, how will I know if the Revolution was what she needed. She still flaps her ears and scratches her face but again, it’s not constant and she doesn’t cause trauma. She also has dandruff, mainly on the top of her head and along her back. Trisha is known to lick her paws and genitals so for the longest, her vulva and paws are a rusty color due to the licking. I know these symptoms can also point to allergies so since it doesn’t seem the Revolution was what she needed, could it be indeed allergies? Thank you for any advice given!

My dog who’s about 3 years old has very dry and flakey skin. It seems like dandruff ontop of her fur but when you look deeper she has yellow dry patches and almost pimple like bumps with nothing inside. When you peel the yellow dry patches hair comes off with it as well.
